About DAR

Many Americans have asked themselves, "I wonder if any of my
ancestors were patriots in the American Revolution?" Finding
the answer has drawn nearly a million women to join the Daughters of
the American Revolution since it was founded in 1890. Women
from all walks of life, religions and races have been members of
DAR. Finding our own family history reflected in our nation's history,
learning how
people lived and worked and seeing their patriotism and belief in freedom;
encourages us to preserve our nation's heritage. Our chapter can
assist you in identifying patriot ancestors, researching your family
history and helping prepare your DAR application.

In addition to genealogy and historic preservation, DAR works to
promote patriotism, education, service to veterans and to improve
the communities in which we live. The Caloosahatchee Chapter enjoys
programs on local history, conserving Florida's wildlife and our
natural environment. There are also programs from authors and
presentations about education and women's health. Our chapter
has a variety of committees that promote DAR's goals and new members
are encouraged to get involved.

The Caloosahatchee Chapter also brings together mothers and
daughters, aunts, cousins and grandmothers, some of whom have joined
together. Members often find life-long friends in DAR.

As members of DAR, the Caloosahatchee Chapter is extremely proud to support
an organization dedicated to preserving our American heritage of
freedom and patriotism. Our task is to perpetuate the efforts
of those who have gone before us, building on their accomplishments
in ways that are positive and productive so that our American
heritage endures for many generations to come.
